I’ll begin with confession that It wasn’t an ordinary tour at NBC Studios. I had a chance to see Jimmy Fallon live as an audience for his iconic Tonight’s Show!!! It’s a memorable experience for sure. I’m gonna give you one life hack if you want to see the Show which is always free, go inside NBC studios shop and ask if any standby tickets available. I believe they giving them away first come first serve early in the morning 9-10 am Monday through Friday. If there are any tickets left you will need to be back around 3pm and see Jimmy yourself!

This place was a lot of fun if you are into a behind the scenes look. Like the SNL set is so small. I was impressed what the could do in such a small space. The pages were fun and knowledgeable. Suggest going at around lunch time. You get more access when the sets are not being used in rehearsals.

The NBC Tour is great and a must do when visiting NYC for any film/TV lover. They give you a rich history about NBC and take you behind the scenes where nightly news is broadcasted , where SNL takes place and other cool studios. Felt bad for our tour guide. One of the people on the tour asked her how much the job pays , then 15 minutes later said to her " that salary is tough living in NYC no ?" Some people got no manners !

The tour was super nice. Had a sneak-peak into the production of TV programs and the studio of Jimmy Fallon’s show. They even have this program that lets you and all the other people on the tour record your own Tonight’s Show at the end of the tour! The result was super embarrassing but it was hella fun! Would definitely recommend anyone interested in the production of TV shows to take this tour.

Absolutely loved the tour, our paiges, Will and Ali, were fantastic. Very informative, extremely fun and friendly, and just all around nice people. We thoroughly enjoyed going backstage and getting a chance to see the stage/ set for SNL, O'Fallon, and the morning show. I'd highly recommend this tour if you're on vacation in NYC.

This tour is okay. You get to see the SNL stage, but it lacks the true behind-the-scenes vibe you get at one of the LA-based tours. This tour is sanitized and you're kept far away from any TV action. The tour guide pages are nice and well-intentioned but lacked depth. I don't need to hear about the famous people you bumped into over again. A lot of folks will like this tour because it's the only one of its kind in NYC, but if it's TV & movie magic you want to experience, trek to Hollywood!

It was really entertaining. At least the tour in the building by the NBC pages. Don't bother with the walking tour by the outside company that includes the NBC tour in their package. That guide was a no show. We had to call to find out that, "they had a death in the family." But I highly recommend going on the tour put on by the pages.

My family of 4 attended the NBC Studios tour at 10:30 am with two new pages. There were multiple issues with this tour. First, the SNL set was closed since the stagehands were putting together set pieces at the time of our tour. However, NBC even closed the upstairs window gallery so guests on the tour could only barely see in the studio prior to moving to the next studio. Then, the floors of both the Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers sets were completely covered with sets/furniture for other shows making the set unrecognizable as not only their sets, but ANY production set since there were dust covers over everything on set, including the audience chairs. They looked more like storage rooms. The control rooms we saw were literally empty…not a soul in sight anywhere. Finally, the final video of Lester Holt was not operational. A manager came up and determined it could not be fixed at that time, and due to the close scheduling of tours, our tour was concluded early. Additionally, though we certainly understand that pages have to start at some point and may be new at their position, to put TWO new pages on a tour is not fair to the guests. We could tell they were both new because the manager was giving them instructions on how to gather people to the rear of the NBC store and what announcements to make. Throughout the tour, one page was a bit socially awkward and neither of them knew ANY answers to the questions that guests had. Literally none. They kept saying “Good question,” looking at each other, and guessed what the answer could be. Perhaps putting someone with any semblance of experience would be beneficial. This makes me question why NBC holds tours on a Saturday if nothing is recognizable or open to view what a real tv set looks like. Although we understand that production schedules may change from week to week, it is clear that Saturday is NOT the day to hold a tour, or if you do, hold it with a disclaimer about the lack of activity and at a discounted price. We literally walked into furniture-filled empty studios that were unrecognizable as to what they are during the week, saw a rope covering the window to the SNL set, received no answers to questions on the tour, saw empty control rooms, attempted to watch a broken video of Lester Holt, and saw tons of photos on the walls that we could look up on Google. Many years ago, I remember walking on to the NBC Nightly News set, but you don’t even do that anymore because that studio is now across the street where the Today set is. I do NOT recommend this tour, at least on a Saturday!

If you blink, you might miss the whole tour. You’re rushed very quickly through the studios with your massive group. Oh and absolutely no pictures are allowed to document the experience or even proof that you were there. It is, however, neat to see the places you’ve seen on tv hundreds of times before your very eyes. I give it three stars because I guess it could be considered gracious of NBC to let us into their studios at all given the busy schedule of television. Here are pictures from the public part of the building that might as well have nothing to do with the tour

Molly and Cassandra were THE BEST. What a duo: Molly, all bubbly and friendly; Cassandra, cool and knowledgeable. They were great hosts, showing passion and knowledge about broadcast TV. And they made us all look good when we recorded our own late night show!

Such a great tour. We were lucky to have two fantastic NBC pages, Henry and Sarah, take us on a fantastic tour if the NBC studios. As we went on a Friday we got to see the (almost) completed SNL set as well as learning about all of the history of broadcast television at the Rockefeller Centre. There's also a fun interactive attraction at the end of the tour so be ready to take part! Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic tour! Amazing experience!!! The experience lasted 90 minutes. We went through 30 Rock and learned about the history of NBC as well as seeing the studios of SNL and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The NBC Pages that ran our tour were professional yet funny and made the tour absolutely a great experience. At the end, the entire tour group got to shoot a segment of the Today Show, acting as both the talent and production staff. Super fun!

So glad this has reopened since Covid. We had a fun time seeing the "behind the scenes" and the "pages" were so informative, friendly and professional! The employees in the gift shop were very nice and helpful. I recommend this as a must do when visiting NYC!

We arrived 10 mins late for our start time due to a later ending to a previous tour. We fully expected to have to be flexible to be accommodated into another tour and we were willing to do so. We were NOT expecting to be told we would get no refund and that all tours were booked solid for 2 weeks. Being a small party of 2, we asked if we could wait for the next tour(s) of the day to see if someone didn’t show or was late (like us) and if there were 2 open spots if we could join (after all they already had our money and weren’t giving a refund). They rudely told us “No” until we asked for a manager who finally agreed to see if there were two spots available on the next tour. Unfortunately there were not, so we just left. No tour and no money back. Our fault for being late, but the customer service and the policy for accommodation is bad.

Had this tour booked for a few weeks. Night before the tour I got an email to say the tour was cancelled and then I received another email 1 minute later saying that the tour has been confirmed for the date and time of the tour. As soon as I woke up the next morning I wanted to confirm if the tour was cancelled or going ahead - I tried to call 15 times but no answer. There was an option to leave a voicemail and to get a call back in 2 business days… As I had already paid for the tour, we had no choice but to still go just in case the tour was going ahead. Arrived for the tour and was told that the tour was cancelled and they understand that the emails were confusing and conflicting. Waste of time but had no other choice but to go just in case it was going ahead so I don’t lose my money. Tour was cancelled due to audio problems.

It was fantastic, and one of the highlights of my NYC trip. The guides are so friendly and helpful. The studio where you act like in the TV show was the best. I had so much fun

Loved this tour! We had fabulous tour guides/pages who made the experience even better. This is a great way to get a peek at everything that goes on behind the scenes at NBC studios. We got to see the Jimmy Fallon set along with SNL which was very cool. We got to sit in the seats at SNL which was very iconic. The end of the tour was a blast because we got to film our very own late night show and then they sent a copy to us as a souvenir. Would definitely love to do this tour again because it seems like it is always changing.
